huh,no wonder i havent get any ads from funhaus video for the past week or so.i'll use my phone to play a playlist when i'm sleeping to compensate it
FUNHAUS IS NOT AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY. THEY WORK FOR ROOSTERTEETH.
People need to realize that these guys ARE roosterteeth employees. They are just another branch. That's why becoming a first member helps them. I feel like they should mention this every once and a while.
Then you'd just rather not help at all and let them go under? They aren't allowed to do Patreon.
Looked like you were complaining to yourself. Guess the guy deleted his comment
I dislike EVERYTHING Roosterteeth other than them. So I just give them 5 a month through UA-cam..
Open a patreon, you WILL get my money.
I'm not even a rooster teeth sponsor.
But You guys have been apart of my life for over 6 years. I love you guys too much for you to be brought down
Yeah I'm piss poor but I'll chuck something in the hat if there's something set up
+Nathan Wood because a portion of that money will also go to shitty achievement hunter as well as game attack. And that other shitty one no one likes. I'd donate directly to funhaus in a heartbeat.
+Runs With Scissors True. Although I do like Geoff...he's okay..
Nathan Wood Yeah, I've bought a LOT of Funhaus merch. Just haven't subscribed as a FIRST member.
RT staff aren't allowed Patreon due to Fullscreen rules. It's why Meg left, she's earning way more on Patreon than what her wages were.
Bruce i absolutely love your songs man, they remind me of my dad before he left for the gas station. Please bring them back i miss them, just like my dad...
And THIS is why it's not a good business model to build YOUR business on someone else's platform. One thing changes and you're screwed. Rooster Teeth is smart in building their own platform and subscription service. Yes, their UA-cam network is huge, but it mostly acts as a funnel to their own site. UA-cam is murdering off all smaller channels trying to make content creation their job. The result is that UA-cam is just going to be all corporate garbage. It's going to just be clips of TV shows, ads, or awful quality cell phone videos...
ReplayStationShow Exactly! They would've been better off with Machinima
wat
DarkSharingan21 no, his point is they are part of Rooster Teeth so they are in good hands if UA-cam goes to crap. They are better off without Machinima.
youtube has gone down the shitter. youporn is the better platform
UA-cam has no real competition because nobody else wants to use other services; it's the same with Steam and PC gaming.
Hey all at Funhaus,
I discovered your channel about a year ago when I was going through a tough time. I am an avid fan now and usually watch any video you put up almost within hours. I hope that things continue to go well for your channel and your business so that you can keep putting up content that makes my day a lot brighter.
Bruce! Bring that Angel of a voice back to us! We didn't know what we had until it was gone! Please! We want your songs back! Right guys?!
Shout out to funhaus for not making a purely clickbait title
Super Glue Enema Ayyyy
Who the FUCK complained about Bruce singing?
BRING IT BACK, PLEASE.
Bruce's golden pipes were one of the founding pillars of Demo Disk and without them, the series can't reach its full potential. Bring back the songs!
I miss the fuck out of your songs, Bruce.
Your songs were awesome Bruce!
Petition for Bruce to release a solo album. All proceeds going to the 'Save UA-cam' charity.
8bitPlays same
8bitPlays this a million times
ME TOO. Who were the people complaining?? FUCK THEM!!
Getting the RT first membership, getting UA-cam Red, and buying a funhaus shirt. I'm going to support my favorite UA-cam channel the best way I can! I wouldn't know what to do without you guys!
For everyone saying open a pateron, maybe consider becoming a rooster teeth first member? You'll not only be supporting them but you'll get tons more content to enjoy from them :)
I dont enjoy/watch anyone other than FunHaus, so why would I do that when they could set up a patreon and literally hundreds if not more people will support FunHaus and ONLY them.
Because they legally cannot set up a patreon because of their contract with Rooster Teeth
asdfghjkl what he said, the better rooster teeth does the better funhaus is. Plus there is tons of funhaus content on their first member site that they don't put up on UA-cam
mastermanio2 that's a pretty big opinion :P funhaus is my favorite but I'm also a fan of achievement hunter and some of RT's shows
I already talk about Funhaus (and all of Rooster Teeth, really) all the time because I love it so much, but now, since it's MORE THAN JUST FANGIRLING BECAUSE IT LEGITIMATELY HELPS, IMMA SHOUT ABOUT IT! WHOOOOOOOOOO
17:55 or disable your adblocker for funhaus
Bruce, your Demo Disk songs was when I started showing all my friends Funhaus and how funny you guys are. I know I'm only one person but your songs made me stick around in the early Funhaus days.
So here are some things I was hoping to become less ignorant about.
1. I've seen ads on Funhaus vids after the vid has finished, are they the same as "pre-roll ads"? Post-roll ads?
2. Is there a limit to how many comments you can have on a video? I've been a little excessive the past few videos and they seem to disappear.
3. The whole "thumbnails and titles are inappropriate" doesn't fly with me. I'm worried that this is another lack-of-communication scenario that UA-cam is throwing out (surprise). What do you guys think?
Think they said before they can choose where to put commercials at.
According to one of The Know's videos, UA-cam might be trying to start using AI to figure out if a video is unsafe or not. So a provocative thumbnail or title might trigger something within these AIs programming to flag ads out of the videos.
Just my 2 cents
I can't answer for 2, but for 1) Yes. If you've seen ads on thier stuff recently, it's possible that not all of their stuff is frozen. I think ads still play on Sex Swing, for instance. But you can check whether the ads are working with the "Giant Enemy Crab" video they just put out - there's a block for an ad (the yellow bits) smack in the center of the video that plays as if there is no ad there.
3) Yeah, something about that doesn't seem right. It smacks of a UA-cam representative that isn't being told any useful information by corporate. "Maybe don't put offensive thumbnails and titles" is a seriously unprepared off-the-cuff response like the representative can't answer the question and doesn't know.
I became a Rooster Teeth First member and I'm glad that I can support you in some way, shape, or form while y'all are going through this tough time. I love your content, both funny and serious, and would like to be able to stay with you for years to come.
Remember that part in Skyfall when Bond forgot how to tie a bowtie and watched hentai on his gadget watch?
Sort ya fringe out. That was the second best scene
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Honestly love when you guys talk about music you have some very good tastes and some funny perspectives
I have created a public playlist on my channel of FH videos which gave me ads, for anyone who is interested. Reddit tells me 30secs or the entire ad, whichever is longer, must be watched for the advertiser to pay.
Lawrence struggling with his tie for 19 minutes while 80's advertisements play in the background is the highlight of my day.
Bruce: "Nobody liked or listened to my music intros"
Dawg how high off of your own farts are you? That was like the best part of any show.
For me it was meta data and thumbnails. "Fuck to death" in the title = No good or "Corpses on Conveyorbelts" in the thumbnail = not good. Guess if you do it to many times or you get hit to many times it somehow black lists the channel? Dunno. Only had problems with two videos.
not as entertaining as AH? bollocks mate
guys, i have ignored so many creators that asked for me to use their patreon. but honestly, you guys have my support. i watch your videos over everything.
I honestly think Bruce is lying/trolling about the DemoDisc songs not being liked. Literally everyone loved them and pray for their return.
Either he was focusing too hard on a minority of people and got self-conscience about his art or just got tired of "writing" the songs.
i remember specifically a lot hate on the episodes with the songs. i also was pleased with the novelty of it at first, but got annoyed with after a while.
I really hope this whole advert/no advert debacle gets resolved faster than dropping a MOAB on foreigners. But truly, I love you guys and your content. The fact there was a Snowpiercer reference in this podcast just made my week. Funhaus FTW!
Bruce please bring back the parody songs for demo disk! I was so sad when you stopped doing them :(
I want to support you guys. Y'all bring joy to my life every day when I get home from school. Normal I watch yall vids in youtube so I will now watch yalls vids on the roosterteeth site so that yall can get some revenue for yalls hard work. :) keep up the good work.
I love the old school commercial on in the background
I'm jazzed to hear about the tour! Hope it goes well so you can justify coming through Minnesota. I had a moment with a guy on the bus who was wearing a FH hat so you'll be pleased to know that at least two people would be there .
If you guys started doing your livestreams on twitch wouldn't you make a lot more based off twitch subscribers?
Yeah. Plus you can still upload to UA-cam for those that missed the streams
Problem is, afaik all the donations still have to funnel through RT due to their contracts.
So why go through the hassle of setting that up on Twitch, when you can use UA-cam's own inbuilt streaming system that's already set up.
Though I was one of those that really loved the Demo Disk songs, I also really love how willing you guys are to evolve and be unexpected. I think the world of you guys and hope that UA-cam figures this ad shit out because I would be crushed if you guys were unable to keep making stuff.
People didn't watch Bruce sing? That was like the best way to start a week. Every monday just wacht Bruce sing a horrible parody song and then laugh my ass of on demodisk.
Bruce PLEASE bring back demo disk songs. Every Monday they made my day. P.S. a majority of people here want them back too.
What is the best way to support Funhaus? buying UA-cam RED to watch your videos, Rooster Teeth 1st member, buy a Funhaus Tshirt once a month?
They said yesterday in the post show that First is the best way to support them iirc.
superchat them individually
If you get First you also get a discount on the store so win-win. If win-win to you means spending money, which I love to do.
Just watch there twitch streams that some of them individually do. Plenty of people give them money that way. But they have said before if your only gonna watch their stuff on rooster teeth. That it's probably not worth getting first.
But youtube red in my country isn't available yet. And I tried to buy first member of RT, my country isn't available either. For now I just disable adblok for funhaus.
I didn't have to watch an ad to watch this podcast. I don't have any ad blockers. It actually happens a lot where ads don't even play on (what i assume is) monetized videos.
UA-cam has some work to do to help the creators.
Funhaus; I've been following you guys for years. You're content is hilarious and every episode has me in stitches. I appreciate how genuine you all are and how you can be serious and talk about important issues. Stay awesome.
hot lawrence is hot
Agustin Rosich he's steamy
He's sizzling
It honestly just shows how great you guys are with uploading content and how dedicated you are to your fans and business even though your not making any income on the videos you were putting out.
Bring back the parody songs, Bruce! Don't let the haters win.
Shamefully, this is my first Dude Soup Podcast to really partake in... and I enjoyed the whole thing. (Not the ad crisis part) Layout. Staging. Format. Of course I love each of you tremendously. Well done. I hope the situation is resolved soon! xoxox
I've always sorta gotten how independent UA-camrs with lots of views can make it their job. But it has always baffled me how Funhaus, which gets, on a good day, 500K views a video, can sustain more than 10 people.
I know not all ads are the same, and that they do ad reads. But every time I've thought about it, I would always come to the conclusion that either Funhaus is poor as shit or any indie UA-camr with ~200K views per video is a fucking millionaire.
thedredmanable Don't forget that they are also a part of Rooster Teeth.
I've always thought about this as well. Maybe that's why the post new videos everyday as opposed to the once a week that the average youtuber does?
thedredmanable
I think that RT and Sponsorships help ALOT.
A 10 second ad-spot on a relevant television channel can cost upwards of $300,000. Typically it would reach a few million people. Considering the amount of people who stop paying attention during the ads. I wouldn't be surprised if businesses like blue apron and dollar shave club can afford to pay channels like funhaus $2000+ per video since it reaches 200,000+ people.
They use UA-cam as a reveune stream not THE revenue stream, to my understanding they use UA-cam as a billboard to promote content on the Roosterteeth website such as merch and first membership as they are wayyyy more profitable for the company.
Love you guys. Thank you for being so humble and down-to-earth. Been supporting since 2015 and will continue to. Never stop doing what you're doing
do these guys have a patreon. i would gladly donate
go get a Rooster Teeth FIRST membership. it's the best thing you can do to show you support their content.
Andrés CG how much is it a month? cuz im struggling to pay college tuition
Claudio Tapia there are plans ranging from 2.99, to 29.90 per month. go to roosterteeth.com/first to see the benefits each plan offers
Honestly Bruce's wheezer parody pops into my head every other day and I enjoy it.
What minute do I skip to, to see James say Thor looks bad?
:O i almost feel betrayed
Nathan Wood .
A friend of mine recommended I check out Funhaus & man was I not dissapointed! You guys & gal are hilarious.
It's been a hard mating season for all of us.
I wish there was a legitimate competitor to UA-cam. It would definitely make things better for everyone.
Competition between companies is good for consumers.
Hope everything works out for them I I cried when I found out they were leaving Machinima
If you want to support these guys, I can't reccommend the Funhaus onesie enough. I basically live in this thing now. It's so goddamn comfy.
If they open up a Patreon I will without a doubt give them my money.
NLPrometheus do you not have rooster teeth first?
buy my shirts
Not everyone likes rooster teeth as a whole, a large amount of FunHaus's fans only watch FH not the rest of RT.
buy a shirt then
So will I
I'm a friendless elderly hermit. I do however purchase four Funhaus shirts each time a new one comes out, for my grandchildren.
Commenting purely to add another vote towards Bruce bringing back the parody songs
Please bruce do the parodies again!
It was one of the best ways to start a week and the best way to start a weekend was with FRIDAY yell!!
By the way I only start watching demo disc because of bruce's marvelous voice, because at the begining I thought demo disc was boring.
From a fan since the begining of IG
Keep up the good work and thank you for all the laughs
So if no ads are playing on anything, why do I need UA-cam Red? Cancelling now.
Bobaganusche Well, you could keep it for every channel that isn't in Funhaus's position (which, apparently there are some channels that are still getting ads?). And Funhaus also gets money for pulling views from Red users.
Bobaganusche UA-cam Red is the only revenue we've been getting 😥
Best way to support you guys ? haven't gotten to the end of the pod yet?
Tom Prendeville Don't worry about it too much yet. We're not in crisis territory. If we get there, we'll make a specific video announcing what will happen.
Aside from that, FIRST memberships help Rooster Teeth as a company the most.
Lawrence Sonntag I was kidding, you guys are my favorite channel and it's sad that this is happening to you. Since they are being so PC, I would just stick it to them and post a 10 minute video everyday that is just a blank screen with the date or something, monetize it, and make the real normal video for the day private. Then put a link to the real video in the "not offensive" one, and tell viewers to open the link in a new window so both videos play out. You get ad revenue and you don't have to change your content.
just want to say the podcast is looking incredibly professional as of late; the lighting is on point and the layout is great. congrats to whoever is behind that.
aroguepixel Omar has been busting his ass to make the show look and sound great.
Give the man a pay rise -
oh wait no advertising money. give him an imaginary pay rise instead.
Why is Ron Perlman wearing a tuxedo?
Bruce I've posted this a thousand times on other videos but here we go again: PLEASE SING MORE DEMODISC SONGS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Did Adam just say they are not as entertaining as AH?
Olaeru Vladut when he say that?
D Jann 25:51
Olaeru Vladut He means they can't just BS for an hour and put out an hour long video of funny content. When Funhaus plays they generally cut stuff together, like if AH did an hour and a half and cut it down to thirty minutes of condensed "funniest moments".
It's just different playstyle and editing direction, but it means Adam thinks Funhaus isn't as good in a live setting. There's a less constant stream of entertaining BS than AH, and a good chunk of Funhaus's humor comes from the editing, which you obviously can't do in real time.
Just FYI, Muse were releasing studio albums years before Franz Ferdinand.
Please bring back the parody songs from Bruce.
I'm happy with this video because it actually explained UA-cam's position, and instead of making them out to be the enemy they explained why they're on the creator's side.
OPEN A PATREON!!!! PLEASE I'LL PAY MY BROS
Juyan Taghiani they can't
Evsbear1
Really they can't?
Shit man... I really feel sorry for them though because they look hurt by this I'm since it's complete bullshit...
I would of honestly gave them like some money to help get them by. They deserve it.
Juyan Taghiani I thinks it's because they are affiliated with the rooster teeth brand and the company who owns the whole rooster teeth family don't let them. Bruce did a whole explanation of it on the funhaus subreddit.
Buy a Rooster Teeth first membership or some merch if you want to support them
buying merch probably is the best way to support them
I love how Lawrence is watching a tutorial on how to tie a bow tie. 15:51 you can see him not understanding the instructions.
"Robbie Williams is a better Morrissey." I actually almost threw up when they said that.
I can see Rooster Teeth helping out the bigger, individual channels by helping them find work either with RT themselves, or helping them find someone to work with. It'd be nice.
Imagine what Demo disk would turn into if Funhaus started making videos on Youporn!
They just replace Rule 34 with YouPorn
As soon as these UA-cam ad problems popped up I made sure to get a first membership. everyone who likes funhaus should do the same.
Typical LAWRENCE for speaking on a subject he knows nothing about. The rave scene in the Cat in the Hat was there to have Cat loose his magical hat. It was an important point in the movie because now the gang had to progress without magic.
I'm kidding I love you guys but that movie shaped me into the man I am today
I still go back and watch the covers Bruce made because they're amazing. I wish he still made them.
I actually dont mind the ads, mostly because that doesn't even exist in my country.
i'd LOVE it if bruce brought back the demo disk songs!!! i love rewatching the old ones :)
would you ever come to New Zealand for a lest play or even just a funhaus live event?
They were here in NZ after RTX Sydney wrapped up. No event's though, just a holiday.
Unfortunately I don't think there is enough people in our country for a full event to be financially viable. Maybe they'll turn up to an Armageddon in the future.
In the meantime, I 100% recommend saving up and travelling to RTX Sydney. I went to my first one this year and I'm hooked.
i showed me friend some funhaus videos and he's hooked please dont go away funhaus
Someone link the part of the video where they talk about smash mouth?
It's around 47:00.
Elise: Have you guys heard about Mastodon?
Bruce: The band?
This is why I fucking You love Bruce
It a shame about the demo disk songs. I know I am a late fan, but I enjoyed them on my binge though the demo disk.
Please bring back the Demo Disk songs, Bruce. Those were absolutely my favorite parts of Demo Disk.
I'm from the future, this video does not age well.
That's my case!! My friend is a huge fan and he told me to watch a couple of vids... it's been 4 months since that day and I have 2 FH shirts already!! You guys are the best !! 🤙
36:03 - Elyse Willems - "People are a$$holes". Can't wait for THAT T-Shirt! BOOM! FUNHAUS's money problems are now solved!
39:50 - Bruce - "You sound like Nute Gunray". My new favourite quote.
Daniel Allard I would buy that T-Shirt tbh
38:36 OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT PINBACK??? That has been my favorite band for almost a decade!
j
hey...me too!
Bird Person agrees.
I'm glad someone has the guts to bring up that issue, such an ignored topic by mass media.
That's fucked up even for Funhaus' fanbase, man.
Bruce. I watch every Funhaus video waiting for more parody songs. Please bring this back.
Bruce, those parody songs need a ton of work and preparation (and set up) to come close to topping Uptown Disk. You peaked with it and now you gotta try and do it again. Or not. Uptown Disk will live on forever.
35:40 Bruce's parody songs were amazing ! Such a shame that something happened that he had to stop it. Maybe he would try to do them on his own channel then gradually go back to into funhaus content ?
go back to singing on demo disk
To Funhaus. Imagine a house with a cream painted aluminium fence around it and about a metre of space in between. The ground is made of brick cement blocks, around their edge is a seam of sand and just enough on the top in some spots to make a slight sound when you step on it. The fence takes a left turn on the north west corner and continues about half a meter. Past that point nothing is visible, it's not a black space more of a cloud but it's hard to describe.The weather is excellent, warm with barely any humidity, the sky is bright blue with no clouds in sight. On the south west corner there is a pile of horseshoes stacked on top of one other. On the north west corner there's a standing rusted metal pole. Each horseshoe is worth a thousand views and every time it's placed around the pole it the channel receives a thousand views that it gets paid for. When you turn your back to it the horseshoes disappear. Would you stack the horseshoes on the pole as a full time job to help the channel? And who would do it?
I LOVE MORRISSEY :(
Good musician, shit human.
erika m more of a Smith's fan
I'd be happy if you guys opened a patreon, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would happily donate on a monthly basis, you're one of the few channels that I watch daily
HAUS you should play battleground again its pretty fun 9you can check out my vid if you want to see a...lols jk...maybe) Anywho... Thanks bros!
I loved the parody singing Bruce!!! I have showed them to friends who enjoyed them as well
GIVE US DEMO DISC SONGS GIVE US DEMO DISC SONGS
I fuckin loved it when you guys talked about bands, musicians, and stuff. Funhaus first member music podcast when?
I love the fact that you guys make content for the content; you understand that you are part of a business; and that you have the were_with_all to combine those two mentalities in order to do what you guys like AND keep the biz swimming. Don't worry you guys, I'm sure you guys will be here when this blows over when others drown in their own complacency. Sick of hearing about peoples patreon. Keep up the good work.
It's funny, I probably tell more people I know about Funhaus than about our own channel, but that's mostly because they're hilarious, and I can never tell if ours is because we made it. Now I'll just make sure to do it even more.
After watching Lawrence struggle with that bowtie for a good twenty minutes of that video I would like to offer him my hearty congratulations at his success. I know that i've learnt many lessons from his determination and resilience in this trying fashionable time.
Here's a way to please both sides:
Bruce does a Demo Disk song every week.
Funhaus gives us a time code to when the song ends so if you can skip it you want to.
